Giving Love

I handed over many times,
I thought love was a constant sacrifice,
Until I realized one day,
That it was always just me giving away,
That even though I knew that this was part of what love is,
To see now that it's only part, and you can't be the only one who gives,
Because giving is a blessing, and you must also allow the other person to do,
The blessing is that it teaches them to learn how to love too,
